Excellence of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi صَلَّی اللّٰہ تعالٰی علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم
The Prophet of mankind, the Peace of our heart and mind, the most Generous and Kind صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
"O people! Without doubt, the one to attain salvation quickly on the Day of Judgement from its horrors and accountability will be the one amongst you who will have recited Salat upon me in abundance in the world ".
(Firdaus -ul-Akhbar, Page 375, vol. 5, Hadith 8210)
Na hi Shimr ka woh sitam raha, na
Yazeed ki woh jafa rahi
Jo raha to naam Husayn ka, jisay
zindah rakhti hay Karbala
Dreadful end of Yazeed
There is an indirect Hadees reported by Sayyiduna Hasan Basri رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ:
‘حُبُّ الدُّنۡيَا رَأۡسُ كُلِّ خَطِيۡئَةٍ’
"Worldliness is the root of all evils".
(Al-Jami’-us-Sagheer, Page 223, Hadith 3662)
Yazeed’s heart was fully engrossed in the fondness of this temporal world! He was greedy for popularity, authority and power. Forgetting the consequences, he stained his hands with the brutal murder of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and his blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم. The brutal massacre he had committed in Karbala for power and authority could not prolong his reign. His cruel reign lasted for only 3 years and 6 months, and he died at the age of 39 in Rabi’-un-Noor 64 AH in Syria in a place called Huwwareen which is located in the city of ‘Homs’.
(Al-Kamil Fit-Tareekh, vol. 3, Page 464)
One of the causes that are mentioned for Yazeed’s death is that he fell in love with a Roman girl but that girl actually hated him. One day, she tricked Yazeed to go with her to a deserted area on the pretext of having romance. The cool breeze of that desolate place aroused Yazeed but the lady said that a shameless person who was disloyal and unfaithful to his Prophet’s grandson could never be faithful to her. After saying so she repeatedly stabbed Yazeed with a dagger and left him there. For a few days, vultures and crows feasted on his dead body. Finally, his people explored the dead body. They dug a ditch and dumped his rotten remains.

Woh takht hay kis qabr mayn woh
